Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stop Thief! Board Game (1979)

Came across an ad for this board game on a local buy/sell board. They wanted $75 (!) for this “classic” game so obviously not going to be picking it up. But it did bring back fond memories of playing it as a kid. Is it any wonder I came to love technology and gadgets so […]
